Although Charlie’s elixir had been depleted, he felt a surge of confidence at that moment. He was unsure what had enabled him to withstand Balin’s flying sword earlier, but Balin's attack using the technique "Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Sect," which he had been convinced would lead to victory, had inflicted no real damage on him. Not only that, but Balin’s flying sword was completely shattered, reduced to mere powder.
Balin had already been low on spiritual energy, relying on the method of burning his vitality to desperately consume his own cultivation to fight against Charlie. With the destruction of his flying sword, the situation shifted dramatically in an instant. Thanks to the timely replenishment from Charlie’s two pills, he now boasted a significant advantage in both energy and magical weaponry.
But for Balin, things had turned dire. He initially believed that his technique would allow him to eliminate Charlie in one decisive blow, yet he had never anticipated such a rapid change in the tides of battle. Often, conflicts hinge on the dominant side's failure to vanquish the enemy before a crucial turn occurs; once that moment comes, victory becomes nearly inevitable, reminiscent of the Japanese Navy during the Battle of Midway.
Previously, Charlie had been at a disadvantage against Balin, with his only advantage being his greater spiritual energy. However, the dynamics had altered drastically.
Balin was burning through his own cultivation at an accelerated rate, while he remained ahead, the spiritual energy in his body had nearly vanished. He was holding on solely by expending his own vitality. Had his flying sword still been intact, he might have gritted his teeth and weathered another round of "Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Sect". As long as Charlie lacked a magical power for protection, victory would have been within his reach.
